  • Summary

  • Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Who cares? The fresh question is about Terry Gilliam's gonzo dystopia, Brazil!, set in a bleak industrial wasteland and taking place over the Christmas holiday. You've got jackbooted goons singing carols, mall shopping with the Consumers for Christ, and Santa hats galore in this delicious piece of grotesque weirdness.

    Also, Steve uses the episode to introduce the "Stevometer," which gives this classic work a 4/10, while challenging Professor Daniels to change his mind. Will the good doctor succeed? Does he even want to succeed? Find out in this spine tingler and ringadingler.
